Rory McIlroy Using TaylorMade M2 Driver
After Nike Golf announced they would stop making golf clubs and equipment last August, Rory McIlroy has had the freedom to use whatever equipment he sees fit.
The four-time major winner initially put the TaylorMade M2 driver in the bag and went to a Scotty Cameron putter - however, he did plenty of testing towards the end of 2016 and came up with a setup for 2017 he was happy with.
That setup included the new Callaway GBB Epic driver and fairway wood, along with Callaway Apex MB prototype irons, Titleist Vokey SM6 wedges, an Odyssey putter and the Titleist Pro V1x ball.
The 28-year-old added a TaylorMade M2 Tour 3 wood in for The Masters and now looks to have switched drivers as well.
McIlroy hasn't played since The Masters and released a video of him practicing for this week's Players Championship - using the new TaylorMade M2 driver.
